TO Escape From JaiI.

Two prisoners confined in the Charles
county jail plotted to seize the jailor and
tie him aecurely, and after dark to make
their escape. They refused to let Biscoe
into the plot because, as they said, bigger
effort would be made TO catch murderer
than thief. The plot was revealed by a
boy in the same cell with the men and
the plotters instead of being free, are now,
says the Tt.aes, "ironed to the floor"

In our advertising columns, Mr.. Henry
Williams, Agent of the Weems' Line of
Steamers, announces the intention of his
company to afford facilities to St Mary's
truckers and mall-fruit- raisers TO market
their produce. The experience of the past
few years has been that there is no money
in Tobacco, but because of impossibility of
perishable produce reaching market in
proper time, our farmers have been de-
tered from making any change in their
methods. Mr.. Williams proposes to afford
his patrons an opportunity of getting out of
the old ruts and it remains for them to say
whether or Lot they will do it. Read the
advertisement and think we'll over the
proposition ''of making less tobacco and de-
voting more time to sheep, peaches, pota-

At the recent meeting of the Maryland
Academy Of Sciences, DR.. A. p. Sharp
called attention again 10 the destruction
caused in the country by the English spar
rows. He said this was Of 80 serious
nature that he thought some action should
be taken by the State to destroy these
birds, as they were increasing in numbers
to an alarming extent, one pair Of them
raising four broOds season and generally
five young at brood. They are very des-
tructive TO growing grain, and especially to
the young wheat and young corn just
sprouting. Their sagacity is such that il is
almost impossible to shoot or trap them,
and the only available way is to destroy
the eggs. They also drive away and des-
troy the nests Of the ground sparrow, the
blue birds and many OF the birds of song

As this question is frequently asked, we
will simply say that she is n lady who fer
upwards OF forty years has untlringly de-
voted her time and talents as a female ply
stefan and nurse, principally among chill
dren. She has especially studied the con-
stitutlOn and wants Of this numerous class,
and as a result OF this effort and practical
knowledge obtained In lifetime spent as
a nurse and physician, she has compounded
a SOOTHING SYRUP for children teething.
Il operates like magic, giving rest and
health, and is, moreover sure TO regulate
the bowels. in consequence Of this article
Mrs. Wlnslow is becoming world renowned
as benefactor OF her race. Children GER
tainly do RIsRUP and bless her. Especially
is this the case In this city. Vast quantities
Of the SOOTHING SYRUP are DAILY sold
and used here. We think Mrs. Winslow
has lmmorlalized her name by this invalu-
able article, and we sincerely believe thou
sands of CHI udren have been saved from an
early grave by It's timely use. and that mil
lions yet unborn will share its benefits and
mite I'm calling her blessed. No MOTHER has
discharged her duty to her suffering little
ones. in our opinion, until she has given II
